Private Tour
The tours we offer are designed for those who prefer a relaxed pace, comprehensive insights from knowledgeable guides, local meals in small boutique restaurants (we avoid large bus group venues with open-buffet lunches), and a small group experience. If you prefer tours that visit many sites quickly, these may not align with your expectations.
Day 1 (Flight to Sanliurfa, visit Gobeklitepe & Sanliurfa, lunch and dinner included)
We will begin with an early pick-up from your hotel in Istanbul, followed by a drive to Istanbul Airport for your flight to Sanliurfa Airport. Upon arrival, our guide and driver will be there to greet you at the exit gate with a sign displaying your name.
After a brief drive, we will explore Sanliurfa city center. This historic city is significant as it was home to the Old Testament prophets Jethro, Job, Elijah, and Abraham. The region also holds the history of Prophet Moses, who worked as a shepherd for seven years before returning to Egypt. For this reason, the city is often referred to as 'The City of Prophets'. We will visit the Pool of Prophet Abraham, where it is believed that Prophet Abraham was thrown into a fire by Nimrod for refusing to follow his religion. However, as a devout follower of God, Abraham was unharmed by the fire, which miraculously turned into water, and the firewood transformed into the carps swimming in the pool today. We will also take a stroll through the streets, where you can witness the beautiful blend of different cultures and ethnic groups.
Following this visit, we will drive for about 30 minutes to reach one of Turkey's UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Gobeklitepe. Gobeklitepe is considered the earliest known evidence of monumental human-made architecture to date. Scientific research has confirmed that it is the oldest temple in the world, dating back 11,500 years. The site features numerous limestone pillars, many of which are adorned with a stylized T-shape. Archaeoastronomers suggest that these pillars may have also had an astronomically aligned function. Afterward, we will continue our journey with a 1.5-hour drive to Adiyaman. Overnight accommodation will be in Adiyaman at either the Ramada Adiyaman Hotel or the Park Dedeman Hotel.
Day 2 (Sunrise at Mount Nemrut, Flight to Istanbul, breakfast included)
We will begin the day very early, waking up at around 03:30am, to ascend to the summit of Mount Nemrut. This magnificent mountain has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. After arriving at the entrance of the national park, we will hike for about 30 minutes to reach the summit. There, you will experience one of the most breathtaking sunrises in the world, along with the iconic statues of gods and kings. Afterward, we will descend from the mount and head to visit Arsemia Ancient City, Cendere Bridge, and Karakus Tumulus.
After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will head to Adiyaman Airport for your return flight to Istanbul. Upon your arrival at the airport, our driver will be there to greet you and take you to your hotel in Istanbul.
